you've been voting for aid to egypt ever since you got to the united states senate. it's been the second largest recipient of united states ate. are they earning that aid right now? >> no. just the opposite. first of all, why did we give them that aid? it is because of the camp david accords, the peace between egypt and israel. we felt that was to our economic advantage, our national security advantage, and so we were willing to give some aid to egypt for that. but now the situation is that they aren't acting like the camp david accords would imply that they should act, and under those circumstances, it seems to me that they should not get the aid. i feel a little bit the same way about pakistan, because they -- they imprisoned that doctor. they gave us the information to get to bin laden and so we shouldn't be giving aid for people that aren't our friend. >> but what do you do in a situation like egypt where that is the -- that was the will of the people, they elected a government that isn't very friendly to the united states and yet we do need them for our security

what eichenwald is saying the cell that attacked on the united states was ichd in the united states and that's what was referenced in the pbd. that's why i want that declassified. the administration identified al qaeda as a threat. they didn't understand the malt tud or urgency. they accepted, okay, we have to deal with al qaeda but they did not appreciate how big and urgent threat it was. when you see the president's conversation just then, you had a little bit of that sense. so, that was the issue. you had -- we were arguing in the counterterrorism shop, had you to elevate al qaeda at the expense of other issues on the foreign policy agenda. as michael said, they came into office with the view of terrorism as a prism through state sponsorship and iraq in particular. in the days after 9/11, there were plenty of conversations saying, are you sure iraq wasn't involved in it? it got to the point where we had to write a memo to the president saying, we analyze the information. iraq was not behind this attack. >> well, we're going to be digging through this for the rest of our lives. thank

that is one big concern right now, there maybe homegrown extremists located in the united states who may have no prior direct connections to a terrorist group but are going to see this and decide this is a good time to act. this is a good reason to act. this is a good impetus to act. >> nguywe know that al qaeda dr to moments chaos to revive themselves, especially areas where it's perceived the u.s. is somewhat weak. as we're slated to withdraw from afghanistan, do you think it's fair to say that post-withdrawal afghanistan will be a prime location for al qaeda to set up shop again. >> that's part of the problem with afghanistan and withdrawing from afghanistan. al qaeda historically looks for power vacuums to thrive. they look for places where there's absent central control, and we've cena in north africa and somalia and afghanistan and pakistan. that's the big dilemma, if we withdraw our military presence in afghanistan how does that affect vis-a-vis tack stan and afghanistan? they leapfrog back and for. do they leapfrog back from pakistan into afghanistan. >> when you talk about c
